Buy a tray to make your own popsicles. You can include fruits, vegetables, yogurt, fruit juices, etc. 

    12. Sandwich/wrap bites
Make mini versions of your favourite sandwich or wrap. For example, make a turkey wrap and cut it into smaller slices. 

    13. Protein balls
Make your own protein balls for a good chocolate healthy treat. For mine, I like to use; oats, peanut butter, chocolate protein powder, dark chocolate, honey, and more. The recipe will be posted soon :) 

    14. Dried mango slices
Buy already dried mango slices or prepare your own in a dehydrator. Dried mangos are great for a sweet treat craving. 

    15. Clean applesauce 
Make your own applesauce or choose a healthier choice. Last year, my mom made homemade applesauce with our apple tree. It tasted so much fresher and brighter. 

    16. Watermelon sticks

If you love watermelon like me, cut it into cubes for a snack. It can also be served with Greek yogurt or cream cheese dip. 

    17. Tuna lettuce wraps
Use lettuce leaves as a wrap for tuna. You may need to make a few of these because they're rather small. 

    18. Mini muffins
Make smaller muffins for breakfast or a snack. Recently I posted a 'Blueberry Cinnamon Muffins Recipe' that makes a great snack option. 

    19. Plantain chips with salsa
If you're looking to eat chips and salsa, try out plantain chips for a substitute. They contain less salt and harmful ingredients. 

    20. Sweet potato fries
Make a batch of sweet potato fries for a healthier craving alternative. 

    21. Banana chips 
Recipe: Baked Banana Chips With Honey

Banana chips make a great snack because they're sweet and flavourful. You can also make your own banana chips with a dehydrator. 

    22. Healthy biscuits and jam
I love to make cheese biscuits for a snack or even a small breakfast. My recipe for cheese biscuits is coming soon! 

    23. Smoothies
A smoothie is a great snack option because it can be personalized to you. You can make fruit smoothies, chocolate protein smoothies, etc. 

    24. Trail mix
I really enjoy the trail mix combination of nuts (almonds, cashews), dried cranberries, and dark chocolate. It covers sweet and salty together. 

    25. Dark chocolate
